Buying books because you love reading. Buying books to support artists. Buying books as a little treat to fill the void inside you and then stacking them in comforting piles.

How about all of them? #booksky

you don’t have to explain gay to kids if you don’t teach them first that heterosexuality is the only way.

The official voice of the US government Is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us? Joking memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

“What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”

Same-sex marriages have zero effect on religious extremists.

A same-sex married couple doesn't prevent your relationship with God or with Christ or your fidelity to Christ's teachings.

So, I'm left concluding that your faith in God is very fragile and weak in the first place.

ITV: “This landscape of destruction looks other-worldly, but it’s not.”

A view of Gaza from above shows the scale of what Israel has done, as they move to occupy Gaza amidst Palestinian starvation.

american media be like "this horrible shooting, which was not stopped nor even mitigated by the cops, means we need to give the cops even more money, power, & impunity"

I promise the lazy people on Medicaid do not constitute the majority and are not the reason our systems are failing. Look to the greedy leadership, look to failures and crooks like Senator Rick Scott.

Andrew Sullivan represents everything wrong with the gay rights movement Cultural critic Marcie Bianco excavates Sullivan's anti-trans, anti-left assertions in The New York Times that people are being forced to transition to erase gay people and that the Progress Flag excl...

This is an excellent piece from Dr. Marcie Bianco thoroughly dismantling Andrew Sullivan's bullshit op-ed in NYT. Highly recommend it.

Twelve million Americans may lose their health care because Republicans want the wealthiest people in our country to be a fraction of a fraction wealthier than they are now.

My dad just got the RayBan version. 😅

If it wasn't already clear to folks that same-sex marriage is in trouble with this Supreme Court, I hope the past week has driven that point home.

So odd that Congress is so willing to have their power usurped and stripped from them.

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

Wait, a society that championed rugged individualism has a loneliness epidemic? No kidding? That's so weird!

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.”

If you had told me the bitchiest moment of Pride Month would be this...

I need a GF version of this. I miss it so much. Especially those rye chips!

Tesla Takedown in Boston.

Can we stop saying things are unbelievable when they are clearly happening in front of our eyes? Reprehensible, terrible, criminal, inhuman, and atrocious are all more applicable words. We know they're snatching people and putting them in labor camps; it's not unbelievable, it's evil.
